We don’t go on many holidays and they’re rarely anywhere glamorous. This time we’re heading to Wales to visit my parents. I know, that Instagram life I lead. Anyway, my folks always ask how things are going with the business and it’d be nice to be able to have a good moan about all the work I’m going to need to do when we get back!

As the graphic below says the code to put in at checkout is “eggthingy2017”. Mmmm eggs…

We run JigoShop as our ecommerce solution and have done since it was a fairly new bit of software. A little while back, a few months, something like that, they finally hit version 2.0. I don’t make a habit of upgrading production software until it’s been out a while just in case there’s some show-stopping bugs that haven’t been found yet.

So when we get back from our holiday I’ll be tinkering with the software and doing my best to make sure everything is running smoothly. This could take a few hours, or it could take days. I have no idea – that’s one of the reasons I’ve been putting off doing it!

I’ll also be revising our postage costs slightly as it’s now a new financial year and that means the Royal Mail have once again raised their prices. One more reason to get orders in before the sale ends!

Now if only I could convince someone to buy me a chocolate egg. It’s been bloody years!

Well, there's been some setbacks but at last it's done!

I'm quite proud of this for a variety of reasons - notably because it didn't take me more than a few hours to paint and I'm quite chuffed with how it turned out. I'm looking forward to doing a few more!

We've been playing Shadow War: Armageddon at our local gaming club too and there's various things that aren't directly related to greenskins that we're selling as a result. LavaTurbine makes these NecroGauges with various handy measurements on them:

Getting back to Shadow War the missus favours the Adepta Sororitas and has been viciously successful against my Orks as well as a few other opponents. I've seen an Inquisition force take her down before though, eventually...

Anyway, for that she uses my Sororitas Arcanum models as proxies and this has given me a bit of a boot up the backside to get a few things released. The Sororitas Arcanum models are, whenever possible, multi-part. I built them that way to allow for replacement parts like these:

Then there's this character model which I sculpted a few years back but still rather like, even if it's not all that flattering. It's based on the missus and comes with a whole swathe of weapon options:

GW bitz are having some issues - trying to get their visibility sorted at the moment (lots of GW plastics are showing up despite being out of stock. You can't order them by accident but it's annoying that they're ignoring the "hide out of stock items" setting!).

Has this sale ended? I woz eyeing off those engines the other day and I thought they were cheaper then....

That depends on when "the other day" was! If it was several years ago then they will have been cheaper. I've tweaked the price a few times depending on mould yield but they were 40% off for the sale making them £5.99, down from £9.99, which has been their regular price for at least all of 2017.

Unfortunately the sale is now over and I'm going to have to get cracking on casting stuff!
